What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Boldr Safari

Owners widely praise the Boldr Safari for its attractive dials, robust build with 200 meters of water resistance, and reliable Seiko movements. The California dial design is a frequent highlight, as is the strong lume. Some owners note the GMT variant offers full GMT functionality, while others point out the movement's date-only nature on certain models leads to a vestigial crown position. The animal artwork on the display caseback is a point of contention, with some finding it detracts from the view of the movement. Overall, owners rate the Boldr Safari highly for its value and distinctive design elements.

Straton Curve Chrono MKII

The watch offers a retro motorsport aesthetic with a quality finish and well-chosen movements at an affordable price. Reviewers did not agree on any specific weaknesses.
